A quick assessment of someone's financial situation or spending behavior — are they actually about that money or just performing it? A bill check cuts through the flex to ask whether someone can back up their lifestyle with real funds. It can be applied to a person ('run a bill check on him before going into business together') or to a situation ('let me do a bill check before we book this trip'). In both cases it's about verifying that the resources match the energy before anyone gets caught short.
(banking) The act of writing a check on an account with insufficient funds, expecting that funds will become available by the time the check clears.
(US) Without checks (financial instruments); chequeless.
(slang) To write a bad check.
